KYRILLOS NETO, Fuad  and  MOREIRA, Jacqueline de Oliveira. Politics and psychoanalysis: connections. Psicol. clin. [online]. 2009, vol.21, n.2, pp.397-414. ISSN 0103-5665.

In this text, the interface between psychoanalysis and politics based on Freud's theories present in "Totem and Taboo" and Arendt's political concept are discussed. The article brings authors, such as Rozitchner, who discuss the relationship between psychoanalysis and society and are interested in the subjective conditions for the development of collective processes that tend to create a radical transformation of social reality. It also talks about the concept of politics used by Zizek, who considers the antagonism as real. This antagonism reintroduces the reflection about freedom mediated by the act that disturbs the ideological fantasy. The authors try to approximate psychoanalysis and politics. In order to do this, they use the coordinates of time and the relation of knowledge that makes the specificity of the analytic act and lets us think about the practice of a liberating political action.

Keywords : psychoanalysis; politics; power; subject; company.
